معرفی
Timur Yarovinsky, MD, PhD, is a Research Scientist in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine at the Yale School of Medicine. His work focuses on the intersection of immunology and cardiovascular biology, particularly the role of platelets in inflammation, vascular integrity, and disease pathogenesis. He holds appointments in Cancer Immunology and the CPIRT Center for Pulmonary Injury, Inflammation, Repair, and Therapeutics.
Education & Training:
- Postdoctoral Fellow, The University of Iowa (2000)
- PhD in Immunology, Russian State Medical University (1996)
- MD in Medical Biology/Biophysics, Russian State Medical University (1994)
Research Interests: Dr. Yarovinsky’s research explores platelet biology in cardiovascular diseases, immunomodulatory therapies for cancer, and mechanisms of inflammation in conditions like Kawasaki disease. He investigates mRNA-based therapies, cytokine pathways, and vascular pathologies, with a focus on translating findings into clinical applications.
Publications Trends: His recent work highlights platelet-monocyte aggregates in Kawasaki disease, pyroptosis in vascular inflammation, and enveloped mRNA therapeutics for cancer immunotherapy. These studies emphasize interdisciplinary approaches combining immunology, molecular biology, and clinical medicine.
Awards:
- 2018: InnoCentive Challenge Winner for Oral Vaccination of Enveloped Viruses
- 2014: InnoCentive Challenge Winner for Temperature-Sensitive qPCR Assay
- 1996 & 1995: Travel Awards for Immunology/Clinical Immunology Congresses
Advising & Grants: While formal grants are not explicitly listed, his awards and collaborations suggest active grant-funded research. He mentors postdoctoral researchers and collaborates with faculty like John Hwa (CPIRT Director) and Nina Stachenfeld (gender-specific cardiovascular research).
Labs & Teams: Affiliated with the Hwa Lab and CPIRT Center, he contributes to interdisciplinary projects on vascular biology, immunotherapy, and organoid models of microvascular disease.
